The artist explained to the gossip site that he believes his version was acquired by Universal Music Group Recordings then subsequently copied for the pop performers' smash number, which featured on Grande's 2016 Dangerous Woman album.

O'Connor told TMZ that he was instructed to send a demo after contacting UMG over what he considers was a copyright infringement. The company has not yet addressed the artist's song theft contentions, which apparently spans further than "J5 (T6)."

The composer also insinuates UMG has borrowed his songs on more than one occasion in order to create tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and is seeking royalties from the music group — not Grande or Minaj — in addition to songwriting credits for the track.

UMG has yet to respond with a statement concerning the charges.
